POTENCY OF MUSIC AND MOVEMENT STIMULATION IN THE HEALTH CARE OF PATIENTS WITH PARKINSON´S DISEASE

Summary/Abstract: The study presents the research results aimed at the survey of how music and movement stimulation improves the health condition of patient with Parkinson´s disease (PD). It is a chronic, slowly developing neurological disease, which essentially does not shorten the life of the patient but it impairs its quality. Clinical manifestations of the disease are tremor, stiffness, reduced movement, impaired gait, speech disorders, vegetative and mental disorders. Pharmacological therapy can decelerate the disease, but cannot stop it. The research aim of the study is to determine the potency of music and movement stimulation to improve motor abilities of patients with Parkinson's disease. Research sample represent three female patients suffering from PD for 3-5 years with expressed representative symptoms. The research results of qualitative study prove the potency of music and movement stimulation, applied within 10 and 20 days, on reducing the muscle tension, tremor, improvement of self-care, and stabilisation of
